Brett,

I've used the settings you recommended but still cannot receive faxes. The
string that seems to work about 50% of the time is:

AT&F&H1&R2S36=0S7=90\

Do you have any other recommendations.

Michael

Martwalsh,

Try the following init string:

AT&F&C1&D2&H1S7=55S36=0

Also, please ensure that you have the modem setup as a Generic Class 1
with Hardware Flow Control.

Brett,

The string you suggested, AT&F&C1&D2&H1S7=55S36=0, connected then
failed within seconds. Please make further reccomendations.

I am using Generic Class 1 with Hardware Flow Control. Also, I have
disabled ECM Recieve.

Thanks,

Michael
